Simple but effective

Ranked #69 - Avalanche Safety

This Beacon is the best on the market for people just beginning to venture out into the backcountry, It doesn't have lots of the bells and whistles lots of the more expensive beacons have but when it comes down to simplicity the tracker has what you need, it is also very easy to learn with and with enough practice it can be just as effective as the pricier beacons within its range.
